Their then would be a decrease in the amount of owls in the environment as well as the owl's prey!! :)
They usually use Twitter for that stuff.
they come out during the night to hunt
Well, if you destroy the environment in which the owls main prey animals live in you will indirectly hurt the owl as well.
Burrowing owls and African lions do not share the same environment. If would be unlikely that lions would eat one if they did, however.
they fly around and their feathers help plants grow
They live in fields that are in dry hot areas where there are plenty of rodents.
Owls are good for the environment because they keep down the rat and mice population. Nature naturally does this to prevent one species from becoming too powerful.
All owls have night vision. Since the desert can get so hot, most animals, including owls, come out at evening or night to avoid the heat of day. Since they're active at night, it's good to have nocturnal vision. Some desert owls are elf owls, pygmy owls, burrowing owls, great horned owls. It allows them to hunt when it is cooler.

Open country with interspersed forests, preferably evergreens.
Snowy owls have feathers on their legs so that they don't get cold in the snow.
